The Art of the Presidential Fold | How to Fold a Pocket Square Like a Pro

About this video

Centeno demonstrates how to fold and wear a pocket square using the presidential fold technique, which he argues is the simplest and most versatile method for beginners. He provides step-by-step instructions for executing the fold, offers sizing tips to ensure the pocket square fits properly in the jacket pocket, and explains how to position it for an elegant appearance suitable for formal or business occasions.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues the presidential fold is simple to execute, elegant for formal occasions, and works best with solid-colored pocket squares in materials like white linen or cotton
• Centeno recommends folding the pocket square multiple times, adjusting the width and height on final folds to match the jacket pocket dimensions, and exposing roughly one-half to one-quarter inch
• Centeno suggests positioning the pocket square to follow the slant of the pocket and tucking it behind the lapel rather than in front for a better appearance
